+# CLAUDE.md
+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+This is a Python implementation of Synthetic Difference-in-Differences (SDID), a causal inference method for policy evaluation and treatment effect estimation in panel data. The library combines synthetic control and difference-in-differences approaches.
+
+## Development Commands
+
+### Package Management
+- **Install dependencies**: `pipenv install` (uses Pipfile for dependency management)
+- **Install dev dependencies**: `pipenv install --dev`
+- **Activate environment**: `pipenv shell`
+- **Install package in development mode**: `pip install -e .`
+
+### Running Code
+- **Run examples**: `jupyter notebook examples/examples.ipynb`
+- **Import main class**: `from synthdid.synthdid import Synthdid`
+- **Load sample data**: `from synthdid.get_data import california_prop99`
+
+### Testing
+⚠️ **No test suite exists** - this is a critical gap that should be addressed. Consider adding:
+- `pytest` for testing framework
+- `tests/` directory with unit tests for each module
+- Test coverage for core estimation methods
+
+## Code Architecture
+
+### Core Design Pattern
+The library uses a **method chaining pattern** where users:
+1. Initialize `Synthdid` with data and column specifications
+2. Call `.fit()` to estimate the model
+3. Call `.vcov()` to compute standard errors
+4. Call `.summary()` to format results
+
+### Key Modules
+
+**`synthdid/synthdid.py`**: Main entry point that inherits from multiple mixins:
+- Combines functionality from SDID, Variance, Plots, and Summary classes
+- Provides unified interface for all estimation methods
+
+**`synthdid/sdid.py`**: Core estimation logic
+- `SDID` class with `fit()` method
+- Supports three modes: 'sdid', 'sc' (synthetic control), 'did' (difference-in-differences)
+- Handles staggered adoption designs
+
+**`synthdid/solver.py`**: Optimization algorithms
+- Frank-Wolfe method implementation for weight estimation
+- Covariate adjustment with "optimized" and "projected" methods
+
+**`synthdid/utils.py`**: Data preprocessing
+- Panel data matrix construction
+- Data validation and transformation utilities
+
+**`synthdid/vcov.py`**: Variance estimation
+- Multiple standard error methods: placebo, bootstrap, jackknife
+- `Variance` class with flexible inference options
+
+**`synthdid/plots.py`**: Visualization capabilities
+- Outcome trajectory plots
+- Weight visualization for units and time periods
+
+### Data Flow
+1. Raw panel data → `utils.py` preprocessing → structured matrices
+2. Matrices → `solver.py` optimization → estimated weights
+3. Weights + data → `sdid.py` estimation → treatment effects
+4. Results → `vcov.py` inference → standard errors
+5. Final results → `summary.py` + `plots.py` → formatted output
+
+## Common Usage Patterns
+
+### Basic Estimation
+```python
+from synthdid.synthdid import Synthdid
+from synthdid.get_data import california_prop99
+
+df = california_prop99()
+result = Synthdid(df, "State", "Year", "treated", "PacksPerCapita").fit().vcov().summary()
+```
+
+### Staggered Adoption
+When treatment occurs at different times across units, the library automatically handles staggered designs.
+
+### Covariate Adjustment
+Use `covariates` parameter with method "optimized" or "projected" for incorporating additional control variables.
+
+## Data Requirements
+
+Input data must be a pandas DataFrame with:
+- **Unit column**: Identifier for panel units (e.g., states, countries)
+- **Time column**: Time period identifier
+- **Treatment column**: Binary treatment indicator
+- **Outcome column**: Dependent variable
+- Optional covariate columns
+
+## Dependencies
+
+Core dependencies (pinned versions in requirements.txt):
+- numpy (1.23.5)
+- pandas (1.5.3) 
+- matplotlib (3.7.1)
+- scipy (1.10.1)
+- statsmodels (0.13.5)
+
+Development environment targets Python 3.8+ with Pipenv for dependency management.
+
+## Known Issues and Limitations
+
+- **No test suite**: Critical gap in code quality assurance
+- **Empty `__init__.py`**: Main classes not exposed at package level
+- **Inconsistent error handling**: Mix of print statements and exceptions
+- **Missing type hints**: Reduces code maintainability
+- **Rigid dependency pinning**: May cause compatibility issues
+
+## Development Priorities
+
+1. Add comprehensive test suite with pytest
+2. Implement proper package-level imports in `__init__.py`
+3. Add type hints throughout codebase
+4. Standardize error handling with custom exceptions
+5. Add code formatting and linting tools

-# sythdid: Synthetic Difference in Difference Estimation
+# synthdid: Synthetic Difference in Difference Estimation
 
 This package implements the synthetic difference-in-differences estimation procedure, along with a range of inference and graphing procedures, following the work of the author. The package draws on [R](https://github.com/synth-inference/synthdid) and [Julia](https://github.com/d2cml-ai/Synthdid.jl) code for optimization and [Stata](https://github.com/Daniel-Pailanir/sdid) code for implementation in contexts with staggered adoption over multiple treatment periods (as well as in a single adoption period as in the original code). The package extends the functionality of the original code, allowing for estimation in a wider range of contexts. Overall, this package provides a comprehensive toolkit for researchers interested in using the synthetic difference-in-differences estimator in their work.
